Back Together

Chapter 7

Chapter 7-

Tessanie's P.O.V.

"We are here." Tyler announces as he turns off the engine. Lauren looks back at me with a concerned look on her face mouthing the words 'Are you ok?' I nod my head yes and open my door to get out of the car.

Sitting there is his red dodge viper that he got for Christmas from his rich grandparents. I search through my purse to find my keys. When I find them I put them in the lock and slowly open the door. The house smells disgusting already and there are empty pizza boxes and beer bottles everywhere. EVERYWHERE. It basically looks like a party tornado came through here. The three of us all come inside and close the door.

"He is probably upstairs. I should go talk to him alone. If I need you I will call you. Promise." I say to them before making my way upstairs.

I stop in from of my- Jackson's room and let out a long sigh before opening up the door. As soon as I open the door, Jackson looks up and rushes to me.

"Are you ok? I'm so sorry..." He looks at me with no expression as if those words meant nothing.

"We need to break up." That's all I said because that's all I thought should be said. He looked furious as he started to tear up.

"Fine. But without me, you are nothing. A piece of shit!" His voice is getting louder. "You gonna go home and cut your wrists? Well, let me do it for you!" I am unable to speak as tears start rolling down my face. He grabs his pocket knife and slices my wrist three times before he kicks me in the stomach. I fall to the ground and scream in pain. Jackson gets out a lighter and burns my thumb before Tyler comes running in, tackling Jackson to the ground.

Tyler's P.O.V.

I heard Tessanie screaming so me and Lauren ran up stairs. When we get to the top I told Lauren to call 911. I busted the door down to find blood all over Tess's wrists and Jackson burning her thumb.

"You fucking bastard!" I shout before jumping on top of him, punching the life out of him. When he is knocked out I rush over to Tess where Lauren is already trying to wake her up. I examine her, three cuts on her right wrist and at least a 3rd degree burn on her thumb. This is bad.

The police and ambulance arrived about 5 minuets later. They arrested the now conscious Jackson and took Tess in the ambulance to the hospital. Me and Lauren followed closely behind.

When we arrived at the hospital, there were news people swarming the place. They were flashing pictures and shouting questions at us the whole walk into the hospital. My hand found its way to Lauren's and our fingers intertwined. She was crying when we got into the waiting room so I took her in my arms and rocked her softly.

"She will be fine. She is strong, ok? Please don't cry. Shhhh." I whispered in her ear in attempt to comfort her. Soon we were both fast asleep.

Tessanie's P.O.V.

*2 days later*

I woke up, and immediately a sharp pain shot to my stomach. That's when I remembered what happened. Jackson beat me and cut me. I had a baggage on my wrist and thumb from where he burned me. Tyler said he is in jail, which is god for me. Now I can focus on my life, like college. Oh my god college. Where am I gonna go? Lauren and Tyler are going to a community college in our home town, Chicago. A much as I wanted to be with her, I needed to get away. I remember Chris was talking abut the University of California. That would be nice, right on the beach and far far away. I think that's where I'm gonna enroll. I grabbed my laptop, which Lauren had brought to me. She and Tyler had come to visit me everyday, this is why I love them so much. I searched the school website and filled out the application.

After I turned on the tv and the news came on with me as the top story. My story was all over the news. I quickly changed the station and the movie 'The Princess and The Frog' came on. This is the movie that Andrew and I watched on our 5th date. Haha he cried when Ray died. He is such a softy. I miss him. Oh well, I saw on Facebook that he is engaged now. He is moved on and I'm sitting here, hung up over him. I was crushed when we broke up. It was for the better though. He moved to Boston and we decided that a long-distance relationship wasn't the best thing. I just miss him so much. With so many thoughts clouding my brain, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

**"Tess, we need to talk." Andrews eyes were full of sadness when he told me this. Is he going to break up with me? No he can't, we are in love. Together forever right? "I'm moving to Boston after we graduate," he continued talking "so I think we should b-break u-up." He stared crying so then I started crying.

"Baby please. It doesn't have to be like this, I love you. Together forever, right?" I said in between sobs. I can't even imagine life without him. He is all I have, my parents died on a plane ride just last year. I don't think I could live without him. He is my rock, my shoulder to cry on, my everything.

"You and I both know that long-distance isn't going to work, but I promise I love you forever and I will find you after college and we can be together. I love you." He wiped my tears with his thumb and kissed me for the last time.**

"Wake up, it's time for you to go sweetie." The nurse snapped me out of my dream. This one was a sad reality because I realized that me and Andrew will never be together.

Lauren came to pick me up from the hospital. The car ride home was silent. When we got home, Lauren helped me inside and I sat on the couch.

"Hey I'm gonna go pick up your prescription from Walgreens. Tyler is upstairs, so if you need anything, just yell at him. Be careful, love you!" And she was gone. I was sitting on the couch, by myself. Alone. This is probably what it's going to be like for the rest of my life. Loneliness. I mean who could love a girl like me? A girl with all these problems and scars? That's right no one. No one accept Andrew.
